Rapid Assessment by Cardiac Echo plus Critical Care Ultrasound
This 2-day workshop is specifically designed to equip the critical care and acute care physicians with the skills and knowledge to perform focused bedside transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) so that common cardiac and haemodynamic disorders can be identified quickly. There is a strong focus on HANDS-ON practice in this course. Prior knowledge of TTE is NOT required.
Only Singapore-ANZICS Intensive Care Forum participants are allowed to register for this course.
Limited seats. Registration is on first-come-first-serve basis. Please visit the website for details.
